Ms Q, you're so right on! I'm not trying to change the fashion world, but instilling values would increase change on it's own! Thanks for your viewpoints. Thanks Meleah! I appreciate your feedback!

I can see how others might read it as being very "old school" advising people to hold off on the sex and um..actually dressing instead of barely covering up the "naughty bits" - a phrase I find amusing. I was amazed when I found that a few of my boyfriends had had their "rite of passage" at age 12 or 13. That seems freaky young to me. I remember when I was 13 - I was mature for my age but SO NOT READY for sex. Sure I thought about it but I knew I wasn't ready. It wasn't even some prudish thing - I just knew I wasn't ready for sex. I was a shy nerd (I guess this is redundant) so there was no real pressure for me to have sex. When it comes to women's clothing - I guess I'm used to seeing teenagers and young women with sheer tops that reveal camisoles and bras. I just like to see people wear clothing that is flattering to them. A camisole and low waisted jeans aren't all that flattering for a lot of figures. You essentially have to be skinny to not have any "overflow" (muffin top?) over the jeans. I don't mind tattoos (dated a guy with this incredible vine tattoo that wound up his back - phew!) but some I think should be nice and private surprises. The so-called "Tramp Stamp" (small of back) can be very beautiful but they do give a trampish impression when not in the right context. Nice post!

Sex education, respect, and responsibility. Right on! I'm not sure you'll be able to influence the fashion world much; but I think that if you can instill in others the values you mention, then what people wear won't matter a whole lot.
